This rare Double “Dressing Room” Mirror, designed by Sergio Rodrigues in 1968, reimagines the classic vanity mirror through the lens of Brazilian modernism. Executed in solid wood with jacaranda finish, the piece is defined by its strong architectural lines and a vertical division that frames two large mirror panels. Surrounding the structure is a series of circular inset points, originally intended for lighting elements, referencing the theatrical ambiance of dressing rooms.
With its commanding height and symmetrical design, the mirror functions as both a utilitarian object and a statement of sculptural form. Whether placed in a residential interior or public space, it speaks to Rodrigues’s deep understanding of proportion, presence, and material elegance.
Sergio Rodrigues (1927–2014), widely regarded as a pioneer of modern Brazilian design, consistently elevated everyday furniture to objects of cultural and architectural significance. This double mirror represents a unique expression within his oeuvre—bridging utility and poetic spatial dialogue with characteristic precision.
